ABSTRACT:

A modified Fischer-Tropsch reaction with the incorporation of ethylene in the synthesis gas has been studied kinetically. The feed mixture was also comprised of methane and carbon dioxide in a proportion similar to a real pyrolysis gas composition. The feed gas was provided by a manifold of compressed gas cylinders. An alumina-supported cobalt oxide catalyst was prepared by an impregnation method and used in the experimentation. (ERA citation 12:010994)
